The Omcan 10996 Electric Knife Sharpener
The Omcan 10996 is a compact electric knife sharpening machine equipped with two grinding wheels, designed for butchers, catering operations, and restaurant kitchens that need to keep knives and cutting tools sharp without sending them out for professional sharpening. Two wheels let you use a coarser grit for restoring a dull edge and a finer grit for honing and polishing, so you can take a neglected knife from dull to service-ready in a single session at the sharpening station.
Compact Countertop Design
At 8.3 x 8 x 6.2 inches and only 9 pounds, the machine sits on a small section of counter near the knife rack or prep station where your team can sharpen blades quickly between tasks. The compact footprint means it does not compete for valuable counter space in tight commercial kitchens. Running on a standard 115V/60Hz circuit with a NEMA 5-15P plug, it works on any kitchen outlet without special wiring or dedicated circuits.
Suitable for Most Knife Types
The dual-wheel system handles most types of knives and cutting tools commonly used in commercial food service, from chef knives and boning knives to cleavers and slicing blades. Keeping knives sharp in-house saves the recurring cost of professional sharpening services and means your team always has a sharp edge available instead of working with dull knives that slow down prep and increase the risk of slipping.
